[QUOTE="gary66, post: 5267249, member: 16621"] no, many states sold their natural resources by politicians for political gain. In Ohio under Kasick our herd was decimated so he could get funding for his presidential run from the biggest lobbyists in the state, [B]Farm[/B] Bureau. I estimated 4 million antlerless tags could've been sold in just one season. Our numbers plummeted and are still a joke compared to what they could've been... the policies are still in place. baby brother lived and hunted Va., he was a very good hunter and kept up with the states progress. He understood that when a state reaches 750,000 deer herd numbers it had reached an amount that could recover quickly, Ohio was on the cusp of reaching that when Kasick took control. Shortly after I herd a farm report where the dnr and the farm bureau reaffirmed the commitment they had made in 1986 to keep the herd at 250,000, just after that antlerless tags were cheap and plentiful. You have to understand the state to know why hunters were duped. For decades many hunters had to live with not seeing any deer, we just didn't have many. During that period we were told by the dnr that if we sacrificed a herd would be built and we would reap the rewards, so for decades we sacrificed. When the antlerless tags became cheap and plentiful we thought our sacrifices had finally paid off, we didn't know we were being used till it was too late. Pa. did the same thing, look at their harvest history...it's disgusting what has happened. FWIW Kasick is from Pa. [/QUOTE]
